Departments: Private Finance Initiative

Stewart Hosie: To ask the Secretary of State for Health 
	(1)  what the value was of annual private finance initiative payments made by her Department from  (a) capital and  (b) revenue budgets in each of the last five years;
	(2)  what value of annual private finance initiative (PFI) payments was  (a) to repay capital and  (b) expenditure on other parts of each PFI contract in each of the last five years, broken down by project.

Andy Burnham: The value of annual private finance initiative payments made for each of the last five years is provided in the following table.
	The annual payments made by national health service trusts to their private sector partners are taken from their revenue budgets and cover financing charges (capital repayment and interest charges), building maintenance and, in many cases, the non-clinical support services such as cleaning, laundry, catering, pottering and security. The building and support services can account for between 40 per cent. and 50 per cent. of the annual payments.
	We are not able to provide precise figures breaking down the annual payments into financing charges and other expenditure as this would require examining the financial model for each scheme which would incur disproportionate costs.

Genetics: Databases

Nicholas Clegg: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what forecast he has made of the number of individuals who will have profiles on the National DNA Database in the next  (a) one,  (b) two and  (c) five years, broken down by ethnicity.

John Reid: A forecast of the total number of people expected to be on the NDNAD (not broken down by ethnicity) was produced for internal purposes in early 2006, giving an estimate of the total number of individuals expected to be on the Database in each year between 2007 and 2010. The then Home Office Minister for State made this public in response to a question from the hon. Member for Ashford (Damian Green) on 18 April 2006,  Official Report, column 290W. In a further reply to the hon. Member on 2 May 2006,  Official Report, column 1409W, he stated that there were no plans to estimate the future composition of the database by age, gender or ethnicity.
	There are no plans at present to make any further forecasts of the future numbers on the database, either in total, or broken down by ethnicity.

Pay Gap

James McGovern: To ask the Minister for Women and Equality what recent progress has been made in reducing the pay gap between men and women.

Meg Munn: Latest data shows that the pay gap between men and women has been falling steadily but not fast enough. On 2 April we launched a report setting out the comprehensive programme of action across government to reduce the gender pay gap, one year on from the Women and Work Commission's recommendations. Last month my Department hosted a conference with Opportunity Now for employers to discuss best practice on increasing gender equality in the workplace.

Departments: Data Protection

Grant Shapps: To ask the Prime Minister how many times his Office was found to have been in breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement.

Tony Blair: For these purposes my Office forms part of the Cabinet Office. I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to him by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office (Pat McFadden) on 6 June 2007,  Official Report, column 591W.

Departments: Legal Costs

Grant Shapps: To ask the Prime Minister how much was spent by his Office on legal fees in each of the last five years.

Tony Blair: For these purposes my Office forms part of the Cabinet Office. I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to him by my right hon. Friend the Minister for the Cabinet Office (Hilary Armstrong) on 6 June 2007,  Official Report, column 591W.

Social Mobility

Justine Greening: To ask the Prime Minister which Government Department is responsible for social mobility policy; and if he will make a statement.

Tony Blair: I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to her by my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House (Jack Straw) on 24 May 2007,  Official Report, columns 1449-50.

Sub-postmasters

Mark Harper: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to increase the contractual freedom afforded to sub-postmasters.

Jim Fitzpatrick: The Government have no role in determining the terms applying to sub-postmasters through their contract with Post Office Ltd.
	The subpostmasters and mistresses who own and operate 97 per cent. of the UK's post office network are private business people. They are free to develop their associated retail business and to enter into contracts with anyone they choose as long as the products provided are not excluded under the terms of their contract with Post Office Ltd. because they would be in direct competition with key Post Office products.

Galileo Project

Nigel Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the financial implications of the UK's involvement with the Galileo project.

Stephen Ladyman: I have been asked to reply 
	and will answer this question shortly.
	 Substantive answer from  Stephen  Ladyman to Nigel Evans:
	The European Union (EU) and member states of the European Space Agency (ESA) jointly fund the design and development programme for Galileo. To date the UK's subscription to the ESA element of the programme has been €142 million.
	The EU's contribution to the design and development programme is made from the EC budget and is estimated by the Commission to be €790 million. The UK's contribution to the EC budget is around 17 per cent. of the total, before the UK receives any abatement. The United Kingdom makes its contributions to the EC Budget as a whole and not to individual spending programmes within it. There is not an identified United Kingdom contribution to the design and development programme via the EU budget.

Departments: Sovereign Strategy

Theresa May: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many meetings  (a) Ministers and  (b) officials from his Department and its predecessor held with Sovereign Strategy in each year between 1997 and 2006.

Gillian Merron: Since the Department for Transport was formed in 2002, Ministers have attended two events either solely or partly organised by Sovereign Strategy.
	On 14 December 2005, the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, the hon. Member for Halton, (Derek Twigg) spoke at the 'Local Government Transport conference' which Sovereign Strategy helped organise.
	On 16 May 2006 a representative of Sovereign Strategy attended a meeting between the then Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (the Hon Member for Halton, Derek Twigg) and the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive (Nexus).
	Additionally Transport Ministers have attended other events not organised by Sovereign Strategy but at which individuals employed by them may have been present. No record is kept of such encounters.
	Information regarding officials could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Welfare Tax Credits

Frank Field: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when Ministers first requested calculations to be made in relation to the cost of introducing the £25,000 income disregard as referred to in the answer of 13 December 2005,  Official Report, column 1836W, on tax credits; and when they received those calculations.

Stephen Timms: holding answer 23 May 2007
	The £25,000 disregard was introduced as part of a balanced package of measures with rights and responsibilities for claimants. Some measures in the package have a cost to the Exchequer while others have a yield. Ministers received information on the exchequer effect of the package as part of their deliberations leading up to the 2005 pre-Budget report, when the package was announced.
	Following publication of the 2004-05 overpayment statistics in May 2006, HMRC had two years of overpayment statistics to inform this costing. Unlike in 2003-04, awards in 2004-05 were based on the previous years' income making them much more representative of future years awards. In addition the first stage of the finalisation process for 2005-06 was completed in August 2006, adding to this body of knowledge. This allowed HMRC to publish a separate cost for the disregard in November 2006.

Children: Maintenance

David Evennett: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many cases of  (a) overpayment and  (b) underpayment there were in the Child Support Agency for Bexley residents in each of the last five years.

James Plaskitt: The administration of the Child Support Agency is the matter for the Chief Executive. He will write to the right hon. Member with the information requested.
	 Letter from Stephen Geraghty, dated 7 June 2007:
	In reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the Child Support Agency, the Secretary of State promised a substantive reply form the Chief Executive.
	.
	We contacted your office to clarify the information you required, and it was agreed that this information was the number of people who were paying less than they should have in terms of underpayment i.e. case compliance, and for overpayments, the cases where the Agency was later shown to have incorrectly assessed the case i.e. the accuracy of cases. The information we hold is given in the attached table.
	Information has been provided on the umber of cases charged and how many of these are full, partial or nil payers. Those cases that are partial or nil payers can be regarded as underpayers. Cases with full compliance are paying at least the full amount of maintenance due. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the quantity of overpayments made by the Agency at the Parliamentary Constituency level. The Agency uses a sample of cases to measure overpayments throughout the Agency, and as a result of the size of this sample this information is only accurate at the Agency level.
	I am sorry but due to limitations with the available information it is only possible to provide information regarding underpayments at Parliamentary Constituency level for old and new scheme cases on the new computer system (CS2) and not for those on the old system. As the new scheme went live in March 2003 this information should be interpreted as a naturally growing caseload. It is not possible to provide this information going back the full five years.

Departments: Consultants

Theresa May: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will list the outside  (a) agencies and  (b) consultancies which are undertaking work commissioned by his Department; and what the (i) purpose and (ii) cost is of each commission.

Anne McGuire: A table detailing current contracts and committed expenditure as at 22 may 2007 has been placed in the Library. Excluded from this table are engagements for Legal consultancy. This information is not held centrally and can be obtained only by incurring disproportionate cost.
